It was our very first time in a casino, but came hungry since we had just finished exploring the Sandia tramway. Gave this place a shot. Was it the right choice! Food: ordered their chips and queso for appetizer (queso has real green chiles and very good)! Entree we got their carbonara twist, amazingly presented and full of so much flavor! My husband and I were sharing it and even then was it hard to finish it all. Also, got to try out their philly steak sandwich. Also full of so much flavor! Last, chicken sandwich paired with fries. Fries were a highlight! Service: waiter was patient, answered all our questions, came back enough times to ensure we had drinks topped off and if we were still enjoying and doing okay. 10/10. Drinks: got their strawberry with Hendricks and oh my! Strong but still balanced with flavor.
Service was slow. Food was good. I had country fried steak and eggs.
Steak was cooked perfectly. Good sides. Visited before closing, but they were accommodating and very quick service!
Went for thanksgiving and the thankgivimg meal was delicious and well priced.
Very nice, I had the New York Steak and 2 cheese enchiladas. Steak was cooked to my liking and smothered in green chili. Had pinto beans and papas as sides. Chili was great, not too hot but still tasty. Service was good also. Overall I thought I had a great meal for about 40 including drink and tip. More of a meal than the other restaurants at the casino.
You have to go here for breakfast just to try the Pueblo breakfast sandwich! It has just enough chili to get your attention but not knock you out. Beautiful restaurant wonderful old pictures of old Sandia Pueblo.
The several times I had food here, for breakfast and late lunch, it was awesome. The food was always exactly what and how I ordered. Breakfast is great!
Been here twice this past week. The first time was amazing. Evelyn is just fantastic. We are going to ask for here from now on. Food was great two. The second visit wasn't quite as good. Our waitress seemed a bit put out a first, when our queso came out as a solid lump, old and cold, and we asked for a new one. The seemed to be another couple of small annoyances too when we asked for thing, but she seemed to warm up by the end. The reast of the food was fine. Another few visits to the Councilroom. Food has been consistently good as has the service. A solid choice. Been here many times. This last visit we ate both breakfast and dinner. Food is always good. Both our servers this time were good, especially Zac. Good atmosphere. A good middle ground sit down restaurant between the some of the other walk through eateries and Bien Shur. They have a good and varied menu complete with steaks, Mexican options, Lobster and pasta. The have the best dessert anywhere with a carrot cake cheese cake. Always a solid option.
